The idea behind this blog is to help you understand the difference between a wall and technology to protect life and property.
Let's start off with banks. Banks store their money in steel vaults to protect it from theft. The vault is like a wall. It keeps thieves out or slows them down significantly. What if banks kept their money in a desk drawer and had a high tech camera watching the drawer? You know what would happen. A thief could just walk in and steal the money and then a cop would see what happened on his TV, but it would take several minutes to get too the bank. To protect the drawer, we would need a cop watching his TV 24/7 and the money could still be stolen. Given that the cop finally arrested the thief, we would still have the cost of a trial and the cost of keeping the thief in prison for several years. If the cop does not catch the thief right away the money may never be recovered. Now that you have a few facts, which method is the most effective and the most economical? Easy decision!
Look at your car. Why don't we just leave our keys in the ignition and the doors unlocked and rely on a high tech sensor to tell us when someone is stealing our car? You would not do this because you know that locking the doors and taking out the keys is a lot more effective than a high tech sensor system. What if you are in bed asleep when your car was stolen or a cop was not watching their TV at the time of the theft? Would you vote for high tech? I don't think so!
I could go on with more examples, but the results would be the same. If you look at terrorists who often kill themselves in the process, do you think a high tech camera or sensor is the answer? Would it prevent you or one of your children from being killed by a terrorist? Terrorists have little or no fear of punishment and it is the same with many of the desperate immigrants from over populated countries. Notice that immigrants are not trying to come in illegally from countries what are not over populated.
PS---Where is the Catholic Church when we need them to get places like El Salvador to stop over breeding? !00% of our border problem is the result of over breeding, so why isn't someone working on the real cause of the problem? Interesting isn't it? Is the "end game" any different between global warming and us humans over breeding? The problems on our border is a sneak preview of what will happen with global warming. Tell your friends!
